I learned that offering a policy based on underwriting and actuarial assumptions which allow the issuing company to remain in business and the coverage they offer to have value is not “Real Insurance”.

Forcing private companies to have retroactive responsibility before expenses without collecting a single premium and attempting to mask this burden by deliberately forcing others to be overcharged for things the biologically can never use – that is real insurance.

“Generally, debate over the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors has split into two camps. The minority view is held by critics who undertake a literal reading of the Constitution. They maintain that high crimes means what it says—criminal activity—and argue that the Framers wanted only criminal activities to be the basis for impeachment. The generally accepted viewpoint is much broader. It defines high crimes and misdemeanors as any serious abuse of power—including both legal and illegal activities. Supporters of this reading believe that because impeachment is a public inquiry, first and fore-most, it is appropriate to read the phrase broadly in order to provide the most thorough inquiry possible. Thus, a civil officer may face impeachment for misconduct, violations of oath of office, serious incompetence, or, in the case of judges, activities that undermine public confidence or damage the integrity of the judiciary.”

Noun 1 misdemeanor – a crime less serious than a felony.

“(law) an offense involving intent to defraud and false representation”

If Barry and Sebelius are NOT guilty of A “misdemeanors“, then I don’t know who/whom (pick one) would be!

“Whatever,” “Don’t do this to me,” “What possible difference does it make?” Right. The limp, lily livered congress people questioning these women just let this stuff pass.

Milquetoasts.

Sheesh, these women act like middle school queen bees and the congress doesn’t call them on that behavior.

Really, I suppose it all rests upon our despicable media which should also be holding these women up to shame them for acting like children, but instead would shame anyone who upbraided the woman for that behavior.

It has come to the point where Obama and his cadre of apparatchiks understand they no longer have to make any sense at all. There are only two classes of potential supporters left to them: the committed totalitarian leftists, and those too stupid to figure out they are being used.

And I certainly expected more from the Affordable Care Act, since it is the most significant piece of social welfare legislation since the 1960s, and an absolutely crucial piece of our social safety net going forward. It is early days for the ACA and we should reserve judgment about whether this legislation was just too big and complicated a mess to implement. But, surely, SOMEONE–maybe many people–should be fired for these opening pratfalls. And we should also be able to get some of our money back from the private contractors who failed to implement the exchanges.

Sibelius actually told the truth here, and an important one: Obama is responsible for this.

I know its tempting to try to use that “whatever” line like Hillary’s Benghazi “What difference does it make”. But, unlike Hillary’s, where she was directly referring to the issue at hand, the context of Sibelius saying “whatever” makes it far less damaging of a comment. Its like, ‘I’m responsible, the president’s responsible – whatever – we’re all responsible.’

But, the real news from this line of questioning should be:
“Sibelius: “Obama is responsible””, or whatever the exact quote is. That’s the headline you should be running. That’s what the focus of your article should be.

Obama’s been trying to dodge the blame for this for a month now. Here’s his own handpicked flunky running the disaster in question admitting, straight up, that Obama is responsible. And you’re obscuring that fact with your focus on “whatever”.

Ok, so Sebelius SAID OUT LOUD that OUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!!! is responsible. Fine. NOW, let us move to impeach him, for that, for Benghazi, Fast and Furious,the IRS and NSA scandals, and for being not an Amer…well, that one is controversial, but the other things, hey, if he’d been a Republican, he’d’ve been impeached and imprisoned and hence unavailable for a second term, several YEARS ago.
